Hints

Secret Monsters

There are three secret monsters (the Yeti,
Mothman, and the Flying Humanoid.) To get the Yeti
you must first get the Waiter Skeleton Soul then
go back to the very beginning of the game. You
will see him walking in the background. Toss the
curry and he will come up where you can attack him
and gain his soul. You will need the Rycuda soul
leveled up to at least two to get Mothman. Go to
The Pinnacle to the area where there are two final
guards and a light in between them. Strike the
generator next to the light with Rycuda and
Mothman will appear. For the Flying Humanoid, you
will need the Mandragora soul. Enter the room in
between the Zephyr Boss room and a save room then
use the soul.

Iron Golem Soul

In your sets, equip in A: unarmed, your favorite
armor, and Soul Eater Ring. In the Souls, equip
Imp[B], Black Panther[G], and for enchant, you can
use anything. In set B: use any weapon, your
favorite armor, and Chaos Ring. In Souls, equip
Succubus[B], and any other guardian and enchant,
though Treant[E] is recommended. Then, go to the
place in Wizardry lab where you break the ceiling.
Find the fountain in the lost village, then fall
all the way down, and turn right to find the Iron
Golem. Activate Imp[B], and punch the thing very
fast and it should die. If you get low on HP or
MP, use the Black Panther[G] soul to dash to the
room on the right, then switch to set B. The Chaos
Ring will replenish your MP and you can use the
Succubus[B] soul to get HP from the ghosts. When
the process is done, switch back to set A and
continue fighting the golem.

Defeat Zephyr

To defeat Zephyr you need good timing. He will
rush at you and wont stop until he hits you
unless you jump over him so use the double jump.
An easy way to attack Zephyr is the Gergoth
soul. Use it while Zephyr slowly walks toward
you. Another attack Zephyr has is to stop time.
He will stop time and set knives above you. Move
carefully when time starts again. He will also
throw knives horizontally and diagonally from
the ceiling so you will have to dodge a lot.

Beat Balore Easier

To beat Balore easier, get the Manticore soul
and get the Battle Axe or the Bhuj. You attack
once with the axe, and the tail will attack
twice doing much more damage.

Defeating Dmitri

To defeat Dmitri in your first encounter with him,
use the Axe Armor bullet-type soul only, because
any other soul you use will be copied and used
against you. Use the Axe Armor until you hit him
once. He can now only use that attack. When he
uses your Axe Armor, go in-between the attack and
himself and hit him with any heavy weapon once. He
will then dash backwards and attack you again.
Repeat this trick until he dies. Do not get
worried if he hits you with the Axe Armor, because
it will not hurt much.
The best way to defeat Dmitri is to use the Cave
Troll Soul and let him copy it. The Tongue will go
to the end of his arm.

Defeating The Iron Golem

Use the Imp soul. It switches HP damage to MP damage.

Defeating Abaddon

When fighting Abaddon, equip Death as your
Guardian Soul. Death's scythes will attack Abaddon
repeatedly for about 30 to 35 HP of damage per
hit. Death's Soul also will destroy some of the
locust swarms that Abaddon uses. Keep dodging
Abaddon and the locust swarms, and use Mind Ups or
Mana Prisms to keep your MP filled. Use potions or
food when your HP gets low. When using a
combination of physical attacks and Death's
Guardian Soul, it will not take long to take down
Abaddon.

Easier Boss Rush Mode

Activate the Devil Soul and use the Valmanway
Sword. You will take down all the Bosses in less
than five minutes.

Best Ending

Use the Paranoia Soul to fight Aguni. Collect the
Magic Seal then return to the center of the
castle. Have Mina's Talisman equipped when you
enter the Boss door, then complete the game.

Bad Ending

Use the Paranoia Soul to enter the mirror during
the second battle with Dario Bossi. Defeat Aguni,
then return to the other side of the mirror and
get the Magic Seal. Then, go to the center of the
castle and enter the Boss door without Mina's
Talisman.

Worst Ending

Defeat Dario Bossi during the second battle.

Chaos Ring

Get 100% of the Souls to get the Chaos Ring, in
the abyss.

Rocket Launcher (RPG)

Finish Boss Rush mode in less than five minutes to
get the Rocket Launcher "RPG".

Potion

Successfully complete Boss Rush mode.

Terror Bear

Finish Boss Rush mode in less than eight minutes
to get the "Terror Bear" weapon.

Nunchakus

Finish Boss Rush mode in less than seven minutes
to get the "Nunchakus" weapon.

Death Robe

Finish Boss Rush mode in less than six minutes to
get the "Death Robe". It a powerful armor, but
Dracula's Tunic is better.

Last Two Abilities

The last two abilities are actually enemy souls.
These souls are the Procel and Mudman. Procel is
found in Subterranean Hell. whereas Mudman is
found in the Abyss. These souls allow you to walk
through water and sand freely.

Easy Boss Rush Mode

Have Kaladbolg, Serenity Robe, Chaos Ring, Slogra,
Gaibon, and Stolas Souls on Equip set A and Black
Panther Soul on set B. This gives you very good
Int and the ability to throw multiple high
damaging spears. Gaibon Familiar throws a spear
when you throw one. You can quickly go through
Boss Rush mode, approaching the two minute mark.

Attack Faster

If you have a heavy weapon like a great sword,
slow attacks can be a problem. To hit the enemy
twice quickly, stand very close to them and
attack. Then just as it connects, press L to dash
backwards. As soon as it stops, you can attack
again; and if you are still close enough it should
hit. This is quicker than just attacking twice
normally.

Julius HP Recovery

Find an Imp, then change to Yoko. Let the Imp
posses her (make her attack). You should regain HP
with each attack. Note: The Imp may choose to
attack you; make sure you have enough HP to
survive one or dodge it if the creature lunges.

Alucard In Julius Mode

To get Alucard as a playable character, enter the
Demon Guest House from the lower right enteric.
When you enter, Alucard will have a conversation
with Julius and he will join your team. Alucard
has his Alucard Sword and the High Jump Boots. He
can also turn into a bat. He can use his Hellfire
ability to attack from afar.

Rare Ring

Have the Game Boy Advance game Castlevania: Aria
Of Sorrow in the cartridge slot and start a new
game to have the Rare Ring in your inventory.

Mina Doll

Have the Game Boy Advance game Castlevania: Aria
Of Sorrow in the cartridge slot. You will see a
Mina doll in the background of Yoko's shop waving
her arms.

Alucard In Boss Rush Mode

Successfully complete the game as Soma with a 100%
completion and complete Julius mode. Then, press
Up(2), Down(2), Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A at
the Konami logo. Remain idle until the Konami logo
appears again, then press Up, Down, then hold Up
until the sound of a door opening is heard. Select
Boss Rush mode to play as Alucard with his Alucard
Set.

Defeating Puppet Master

Use a familiar against the Puppet Master and have
him attack the dolls the Puppet Master summons. By
doing this, you can proceed to attack the head
while the familiar takes out the hands. Note: For
this to work, you must have extremely quick
reflexes and great hand-eye coordination.

Bell

To get the bell you need to get the Hippogryph
Soul in the abyss. Go to the room in the dark
chapel with the three bells and use the Hippogryph
Soul under each bell. One of them will drop the
bell that you can sell to Hammer.

Defeating Aguni

Aguni is arguably the hardest Boss in the game. He
has four attacks; a downward spiral that explodes
into large pillars of fire, three smaller fire
pillars, a swoop attack, and repeated slashes with
his claws. To dodge his attacks, keep as far away
as possible, or extremely close to a wall. When he
swoops past or comes to swipe at you, duck
underneath and slide inward. His pillar attacks
can be dodged by jumping, and often open up for
easy hits with a heavy weapon (for example, Great
Axe or Mjollnjr) . Some helpful Souls that can be
used include: familiars, Corpseweed, Barbariccia
and Erinys.

Easy Mothman

Use the following trick to get Mothman to appear
easily. First go to Yoko then go to weapon
synthesis. Synthesize the hammer to its last stage
(Mjolln Jr.). Note: You will need to sacrifice a
Boss soul in order to do this. Then, go to the
Pinnacle and go to the room that has the two final
guards. Use the weapon on the generator. This
should make the Mothman appear.

Crown

In the Demon Guest House, there is a small room
with a bed, a waiter skeleton, and a chair in it.
When you walk in, the skeleton will throw curry at
you and run into the wall, killing itself. Walk in
front of the chair and press Up to sit in it. Wait
for about fifteen seconds and a crown will appear
on the floor in front of you. It cannot be
equipped and you cannot use it. The description
reads "5000 points".

Killer Clown Soul Faces

If you have it, activate the Killer Clown Soul and use it on an enemy. Notice that the card enlarges and tears in half once it makes contact with an enemy. Also, notice that while it is tearing that it actually has a character's face on it. The card/character combos are:

Gold Ring

To get the Gold Ring, go to the room in the
Subterranean Hell containing the gold door with
the slot machine. Have the last three digits of
your gold to be 666 and the door will open,
revealing the Gold Ring. This makes enemies drop
more gold.

Double Archer

Set Amalaric Sniper soul as a Bullet soul, then
set Skull Archer as a Guardian soul. Whenever you
go to charge the Skull Archer with R, the Amalaric
Sniper will automatically activate at the same
time and fire alongside. This is a very powerful
combo, especially in the early levels, as how most
enemies are not strong and will die quickly. Also
note that depending on how long you charge the
Skull Archer's soul, it may consume a lot of mana.

Pass The Spiked Room

In order to pass the spiked room that is in
Subterranean Hell, you can use one of these
methods. The first is to equip these souls: Puppet
Master, Bat Company and Skeleton Ape. Fly up until
you get to a space on the floor with Bat Company.
Then, use Puppet Master so you can transfer to the
next space. Fly again with Bat Company to the
other side. The second method is to equip on your
R souls, Bone Ark. Then just use it from the start
of the spiked room and wait for it to carry you
the next end.

Easy Money

Go to the Lost Village. Kill some Axe Armors until
you get an axe. Then, go to Yoko's house and
upgrade the axe into the Battle Axe. Then, upgrade
the Battle Axe into a Bhuj. Then, go to Hammer's
shop and sell it for 10,000 gold. If this is your
first time in this level, then you should save the
money. After you have played a few more levels,
you can buy good weapons such as the katana,
handgun, etc.

Soul Synthesis Warning

If you want the best weapons in the game, be ready
to give up some of your Boss souls. For example,
if you want the Claimh Solais then you must give
up the Gergoth soul.

Easy Soul Eater Ring And Money

Get the Mimic soul and go to the Clock Tower.
There is a save room with a spike pit next to it
at the bottom right corner of the Clock Tower. The
Mimic soul will usually give you 500 gold each
time you are hit by the spikes. Whenever you get
low on health, go to the save room, heal, and repeat.

Free Potions

In one section of Subterranean Hell you will notice a see-saw with a boulder sitting on it. In the background are bells hanging on the walls. Hit the flat part of the see-saw with a hammer type weapon. The rewards for ringing the bells are as follows:

First (lowest): Potion
Second (middle): High Potion
Third (highest): Super Potion

Three 7's Clothing

In the Garden Of Madness is one of the gold slot
machine doors. Have the last three digits of your
gold to be 777. The door will open, revealing the
three 7's clothing. This will boost your Luck,
Intelligence and Constitution by 7.
In the Garden of Madness, open the slot machine
door with any amount of coins ending in 777.
Alternately, equip the Rare Ring and start killing
Killer Clowns. Eventually they will drop the Three
7s armor, which can be sold for 3885 gold each.

Shaman Ring

In the Condemned tower, there is a room with a
gold slot machine door. Make the last three digits
of your gold to be 573, and the door will open,
revealing the Shaman Ring. This allows you to gain
experience faster.

Konami Man

In the Clocktower in one of the rooms with a lot
of spikes, there is a small area with no spikes
that is very difficult to reach. Use the Bat
Company Soul and land on the spot, then crouch.
The Konami man will fly by, which you can catch
and sell to Hammer.

Magic Seals

In the game you will find magic seals you will
need them to get through to fight the demons.

one of the other bad guys. To do a magic seal

and has a red dot in the middle then on the
touch screen it should say proceed with magic
seal and say yes wants you start doing the magic
